You should've saw it before This is actually quite nice for what we had to work with. Nothing wrong with this install at all. It is very 'functional'.

Looks good! I would install a grommet where the lines exit. Frayed braided lines will cause a lot of blood loss if you ever have to mess with the lines again.

Love the chicken/rooster on the shop logo. It’s very original.
I have a flight to catch in the afternoon, but maybe I'll stop by to check out the shop.

It's definitely functional. Nothing wrong with that.

I just have this bad habit of expecting perfection on everything. It comes from my line of work. You should see the look on my wife's face when she shows me something she did, asks what I think and I'm like "It's nice. This is kind of ****ed up, I wouldn't do this like that...but, it's good." I've got to make a conscious effort to bite my tongue with her and friends some times.

Good Luck with the grand opening.

Hotrod,

No worries man We worked with what we had supplied to us. Those pics were really for Tim. It is a major improvement from how it was originally installed. I agree that the 180/90 etc fittings would have been the best bet.

Congratulation!! That's real good power on that dyno if it's in shootout mode. My 490hp on that dyno made 580 on a local mustang dyno and my buddy's 411hp ran 11.2 @ 129mph in a 3200lbs eclipse. I wouldn't worry too much about the #'s. That dyno is very repeatable and great for tuning.
